TV Fanatic has an exclusive spoiler photo from the second episode of this season, which will air on Thursday, October 10. The photo shows our favorite — and let’s be real, pretty much the only — Mystic Falls human lying face down on the floor of what appears to be a fairly swanky building.

Either Matty just tripped and fell randomly, or he was pushed to the ground by some other supernatural villain. But whatever the case, things do not appear to be going well. The site says that Matt was sent on a mission by Damon (Ian Somerhalder) for something involving Silas (Paul Wesley) and Katherine (Nina Dobrev).

Damon? Recklessly putting others in danger? Never.

Luckily for Matt, whatever danger he does end up getting into, we’re fairly certain that he won’t end up dead. He’s clearly wearing Jeremy’s ring, so that should keep him alive. Small victories!
